Milk Bath Session

Sam, Ben and Elizabeth's Valentine's Session | Social Circle, Ga.

I was back in the new studio yesterday with my sweet little friends, Sam, Ben and their sister, Elizabeth! I love these babies and their family so much and it is always fun to get to see them all together!

Can you believe that in my 12 years as a photographer, I have never hosted Valentine’s sessions?! I have always wanted to but I never have. This year I decided to just make it happen! So glad I did because this is seriously the sweetest! Elizebeth totally ran the show over here and gave us some pretty cute poses too! We even did a milk bath session for her and she rocked it!!

 
 

COLLANS SIX MONTH SESSION | SOCIAL CIRCLE, GA.

I was there to see this sweet baby girl into the world and here we are six months later and she is more adorable than I can even handle! Her smile takes my breath away and brings tears to my eyes because it so pure and lovely. This morning Collans came to my studio for my second session ever in this new space! I had this dreamy session in mind and was so very excited to see it come to life!

Valentine’s Day is one of my fave holidays! It’s also my birthday month and that makes it my Holly-day month! My Memaw always made it so special for me. So, anything with pink, white and red is my fave! This beautiful girl made it perfect with her beautiful blue eyes and smile!

 
 

HattieMae's One Year Milk Bath Session | Social Circle, Ga.

Hello Sunshine!! This is my AH-dorable GREAT niece, HattieMae! Yesterday, I got to photograph her one year session, on her actual birthday! She totally hammed-it-UP, too!! Those curls! Those rolls! That precious smile!!

She started off posing and as we started reacting with all of our oh’s and ahh’s, she then decided to take a phone call (with her “hand Phone”)! Right in the middle of her shoot! So sassy-adorable! HattieMae will keep a stern look on her face but when she smiles, it brightens up life! It’s seriously the best!

HattieMae, I’m so thankful that we got to celebrate your life yesterday! We sure do love you bunches and we’re so thankful for all the joy you bring us and our family.
Happy birthday doll baby!!

Milk Bath Session | 38 weeks

We are counting down the days y'all!!! Every day I wake up and I am like, "Will this be the day???" I have got to stop! lol I haven't been feeling well at all and that has made this last leg of pregnancy so hard. I have been in pain for the past two and a half weeks with my back and hips feeling a dull muscle ache. When Rocco moves around it intensifies these pains. . .he moves A LOT! Two nights ago I didn't sleep well because he decided to have a dance party! It was so painful. That next morning I scheduled an appointment with my chiropractor and let me tell you! She worked some serious magic!! I feel SO incredible and have decided to walk around like a granny trying to keep this adjustment in place. lol This Thursday will be my 39 week check up and we will also have another ultrasound done to determine just how much this baby boy is weighing in at. At my last ultrasound, my tech told me he was on track to weigh around ten pounds at birth. Eek! He has consistently measured two weeks ahead at every check up. Praying things will progress in God's time, I will gain some patience and this baby boy will be healthy!

Also, I am bored! I keep getting caught up with house chores and then the boredom starts to set in. Plus, with no weddings or engagement sessions currently on my schedule, work has basically come to a halt. Which was the plan so I can focus on my family and try to relax while we wait on our baby boy to arrive. However, my brain hasn't caught on to this idea yet! My brain is re-branding my photography business, checking out ideas for new website designs and layouts and I am taking an online photography class that is geared towards business. I just can't stop!!! lol I love my photography business and the amazing clients I get to meet. I love that it allows me to be creative and I have SO much fun with my clients during our sessions. Seeing my clients in front of my camera during an engagement session, giggling and loving on each other AND already getting excited about their wedding day photography. . .it keeps me going and keeps me passionate!

So, for now I am trying really hard to stay positive and think happy thoughts. I saw these gorgeous pink peonies at the grocery store and thought they would help brighten my day. Which they do every time I see them! :) They are my faves. I love how fragrant and beautiful they are. They made the perfect prop for my milk bath maternity session too! I had Trey behind my camera rocking out his skills. Thank you for taking these for me babe.
